Rumour: Multiplayer modes in Batman: Arkham Origins

Warner Brothers new Batman: Arkham Origins is to have multiplayer attached, according to sources. We'll be playing as gang members associated with Joker or Bane as try to take down Batman and Robin.

There are a number of possibly customisable villains to choose from. These tips come from a source correct about Arkham Origins' Christmas Eve setting. WB Montreal is behind the project.

This will be the first time multiplayer has been introduced into the Batman: Arkham series, which was created by UK studio Rocksteady. Hopefully it'll be unique and avoid 'meh'.

Among the Batman baddies are Killer Croc, Deadshot, Firefly, Black Mask, Deathstroke, and "some kind of Electroman character," the source told Kotaku. They didn't say if there was just one kind of multiplayer or a variety of modes.
